Has anybody played both VS and Vendetta?
I would recommend that the VS devs play Vendetta because Vendetta is a lot easier to start playing than VS.
Obviously, it's good to see how other games approach accomplishing a similar task. Other than being 'MMORPG', Vendetta is very similar to VS and it would be interesting to know what hte VS devs think of Vendetta.

Re: Vegastrike vs Vendetta
Last time I tried vendetta (about 2 weeks ago) I got horrible clipping errors in large poly-count areas (astrofields).charlieg wrote:Has anybody played both VS and Vendetta?
You really mean "easier to play" (don't think so) or do you mean "easier to install"?I would recommend that the VS devs play Vendetta because Vendetta is a lot easier to start playing than VS.
Would agree on the latter: Vendetta's installer/updater is great.
Vendetta is not open source and aiming to be a commercial game, once it is ready.Obviously, it's good to see how other games approach accomplishing a similar task.
That's the main reason why I prefer VS: I'm tired of beta-testing commercial games.
Oops, you didn't ask me: I'm not one of the dev-team!Other than being 'MMORPG', Vendetta is very similar to VS and it would be interesting to know what hte VS devs think of Vendetta.

HAH! It looks like they've taken a page from the "Shrike book of screen shotting".

And now, a quick word about the "pixel shader glow effects". Crap.
I don't if they are supposed to simulate my blurry vision after an all-nighter writing rules for iptables and squid, or if they are supposed to keep me reminded of the optical distortion inherent in the nano-diamond alloy glass in my cockpit (hint: there is no distortion inherent in the glass of my cockpit).
Whatever, making things blurry just because you "can" is dumb. Oh, and it looks like shit too.

I downloaded it also and tried it a little bit but I didn't really get the idea.. I think that there isn't really one(CTF a idea.. yeah rigth). There where two good things.. lightning was good and menu system was easy to use. Something like that I proposed on some other thread.
But I think that copying screenshot from Shrike was rude . But Shrike remember we all know who took the original one
